Chapter 43 - Head to Shaolin Temple
Facing the questioning gazes of the crowd, Ling Xiao continued to smile with an extremely calm demeanor, and slowly walked towards Murong Fu.
Although they did not believe that Qiao Feng would pass down the position of Sect Master to a young man, that whipping stick still showed that Ling Xiao was here on behalf of the Beggar Gangs.
The moment Ling Xiao stood by Murong Fu's side, it meant that Beggar Gangs was prepared to help him.
However, Murong Fu's expression was not very happy, because he did not believe that a youngster like Ling Xiao could do much either.
"Young man, although I am very grateful that you helped me, this is not a joke. The other party is a yellow-browed Grandmaster, and all of them possess powerful martial power. They are not people that ordinary people can fight against." Murong Fu said worriedly.
Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao shook his head and laughed, "Gongzi Murong, since you have come, how can you leave?
Seeing that Ling Xiao was still insisting that he was the Beggar Gangs's help, Murong Fu was also helpless. He could only warn him: "Then little brother, please be careful in a while, I'll deal with Great Master Huang Mei. As for the other two, please help me restrict them a bit."
In response to Murong Fu's reminder, Ling Xiao smiled: "Got it."
Seeing that Ling Xiao did not show any signs of leaving, Huang Mei coldly said: "Murong Fu killed my Shaolin Temple's men, he deserves to die a thousand times for his crimes, we are only here for justice, why would the Beggar Gangs bother with this muddy water?"
"Yellow Beard Grandmaster, there's a misunderstanding here. If it's possible, can everyone quiet down and discuss it in detail?" Ling Xiao asked.
Hearing this, yellow-browed man said with a cold snort: "This old man respects Sect Master Qiao as a loyal person, so we toast to Beggar Gangs, but it would be too much of a joke for Beggar Gangs to send a little kid like you to handle matters."
Hearing this, Ling Xiao could only helplessly say: "Looks like I don't have any more deterrence powers. Since that's the case, then let's not talk about this anymore. I'll try my best to not hurt everyone here."
"Hahaha, what big words you have there, could it be that Sect Master Qiao no longer cares about Beggar Gangs? You actually gave a lackey's stick to a little kid who has a mouth that can't be stopped! "Take a look!" When Yellowbrow heard this, he was so angry that he started laughing.
Seeing that Ling Xiao had angered Huang Mei and the rest, Murong Fu's face turned even uglier.
"Brother Ling, what's the point?" Murong Fu sighed.
However, Ling Xiao smiled and said, "Gongzi Murong does not need to worry, do not be afraid."
And at this time, Huang Mei and the rest had already started their attack, Murong Fu let out another heavy sigh, and helplessly went forward to meet them.
Just as what was said at the beginning, Murong Fu was facing off against the yellow-browed Grandmaster, while Ling Xiao was in charge of the other two Shaolin Temple.
In just one exchange, Ling Xiao knew the strength of these two, and could barely be considered experts. Seems like, the hatred Shaolin Temple had towards Murong Fu was not small, if he went to encircle and exterminate the normal people, most likely, they would die, even Murong Fu would be under a lot of pressure.
However, since Ling Xiao had come, he would definitely not allow such a thing to happen.
The microstep was activated, and before the opponent could even react, it struck their chests, causing them to fly out.
This scene changed the outcome of the battle in an instant and also shocked Murong Fu and the yellow-browed Grandmaster.
"Honestly speaking, Master Yellowbrow, I don't want to do anything. Why don't we just stop here?" Ling Xiao walked to Murong Fu's side, and said while standing opposite of Huang Mei.
Huang Mei looked at her two comrades who were whining on the ground not far away in shock, then looked back at Ling Xiao with an expression of disbelief.
"Did you really do this?" The yellow-browed Grandmaster's expression grew even more serious than it had been before.
Ling Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, that's me."
"Impossible! You're so young, how could you possibly win by one versus two?" The yellow-browed Grandmaster shook his head repeatedly.
"If Master doesn't believe me, I can give it a try." Ling Xiao laughed, he did not seem to care at all.
Huang Mei was quiet for a moment, in the end she still decided to give it a try, but just when his fist was about to land on Ling Xiao, the person in front of her disappeared.
This startled Huang Mei, but when he saw Ling Xiao appear like a ghost, the shock on his face was relieved.
"Did you use the microstep just now?" Yellowbrow asked.
Hearing that, Ling Xiao cupped his hands and laughed: "As expected of Master Huang Mei, I have a lot of experience, what I just displayed was indeed microstep."
"This old man has also heard some legends about the microstep. Although I have never come into contact with it before, nor have I encountered it before, it is impossible for me to display the technique at such a fast speed without profound inner strength." Huang Mei said seriously.
"Yes, Master Yellowbrow is right." Ling Xiao nodded in agreement.
Murong Fu was even more surprised, he never thought that Ling Xiao was actually this strong, and could even learn the legendary absolute art, the microstep.
"Now, this old man believes that you are the sect master of the Beggar Gangs." Yellowbrow clasped his hands and gave a sincere bow. This was a form of respect for the masters of a group.
Seeing this scene, Murong Fu also said seriously: "Sect Master Ling."
"Thank you for your agreement. The reason I came this time is to resolve this misunderstanding. It's just that I didn't expect that Great Master Huang Mei would resent this matter too much and wouldn't listen to my advice." Ling Xiao said.
Hearing that, Huang Mei coldly looked at Murong Fu, and said indifferently: "Since Sect Master Ling has personally come, then we naturally have to give him face. However, based on our investigation, it is indeed Murong Fu who killed Master Xuan Bei.
"There really is a misunderstanding that you guys don't know about." After saying that, Ling Xiao turned his head to look at Murong Fu, and said: "Gongzi Murong, this is your chance.
Although the culprit was not Murong Fu, but it was his father who did the despicable thing.
The reason why Ling Xiao asked Murong Fu to tell him personally, was to see how he saw his father as the murderer. If Murong Fu had thought of his father and came out to confess, then Ling Xiao would not care, but Murong Fu felt that he should reveal the truth, and Ling Xiao would help him.
Regarding how to grasp the opportunity this time, Ling Xiao had given all his power to deal with it himself.
If Ling Xiao had not come forward to persuade them on behalf of the Beggar Gangs, then Murong Fu and the others would only end up like him, and the so-called truth would naturally not surface.
With regards to this rare opportunity, Murong Fu showed a very conflicted expression. Obviously, he hadn't decided on how to answer yet.
